The Vital Role of Geriatric Care Managers

The senior adult population, aged 65 and above, has grown significantly globally and in the US over the pаst decade. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that in 2020, this demographic reached 55.8 million people, accounting for 16.8 percent of the country's population. There is а mounting need for senior care to provide tailored assistance and resources to promote a healthy and independent lifestyle for this group.

At the heart of geriatric care management are care managers or licensed professionals trained in geriatrics, such as social workers and nurses. These professionals support and guide adults in senior care and their families in various ways.

Geriatric care managers assess the comprehensive needs of senior adults, including medical, health, emotional, and social aspects, and then develop a comprehensive plan in collaboration with the patient's family based on the assessment that prioritizes short and long-term care goals. These goals may include ensuring patient safety, improving diet, or promoting an active lifestyle.

Care managers also establish a comprehensive care team to facilitate coordinated and efficient care delivery. This practice ensures that every aspect of the senior adult's needs, from day to day care to complex medical and financial issues, are addressed by a team of diverse and experienced professionals, including family members, friends, community members, and care experts. Involving a care team reduces the burden on caregivers and reduces burnout. Effective communication and collaboration among team members also help enhance the senior's quality of life.

Additionally, care managers assist elderly patients and their loved ones in managing changes in their care, including relocation, medical recovery, and hospital discharge. They collaborate with healthcare professionals to ensure seamless transitions and attend to all required needs. They also guide and support families in addressing complex issues such as legal matters and end of life planning and ensure that the wishes of senior adults are respected.

Seniors may struggle to advocate for themselves, making it essential for care managers to leverage their specialized training to help them navigate complex healthcare and social service systems while protecting their rights and preferences. Additionally, care managers can proactively identify and address potential risks such as elder abuse. They can also provide advocacy and guidance to families of higher-income older adults who may not be eligible for government services.

To become a geriatric care manager, a person typically needs at least а bachelor's degree and relevant experience in healthcare or social work. A background in caring for older adults is considered a plus. Coursework in healthcare and management, such as health economics, health services management, hospital organization, medical ethics, and law, is also beneficial.

In selecting a care manager, verifying licenses and certifications from recognized agencies such as the Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC) and the National Academy of Certified Care Managers (NACCM) is important. Additionally, families and guardians should consider the availability of the care manager, as aging can bring unexpected emergencies. Choosing a care manager who is easily reachable around the clock is imperative.

Families and guardians should also evaluate the personal chemistry between care managers and patients, including how comfortable they make the older adult feel, how respectful they are, and their communication style. Additionally, they should consider the cost of caregiving, as it is а long-term commitment.

“But Daniel was resolved not to defile himself with the king's food or wine; so he begged the chief chamberlain to spare him this defilement.” (Daniel 1:8)

The example of these faithful men of Judah is beautiful; their example can guide our own actions toward loving God and serving him faithfully.

Body: It must have been difficult to follow Mosaic law, with all its physical limitations.  Daniel and many others were true to God, many choosing death rather than to disobey the laws of God.

Mind:  The poor woman in the gospel who gives all that she has, is praised by Jesus.  Can you imagine how strong in mind you would have to be to give everything you had?  

Spirit: Our psalm responses usually are meant to lift our spirits, but today, our spirits are especially lifted as we say, “Glory and praise forever!”  Let us glorify God in all we do today.

November 26, 2017, The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

“And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.'”  (Matthew 25:40)

Our readings today are commonly heard at funerals; we celebrate the feast of Christ the King, remembering that Jesus sits on his throne in heaven, waiting for us.

Body:  The reminder in our Gospel that we are to treat others as we would treat Christ is a powerful one.  When we meet the physical needs of others, we are acting as Christ’s hands in the world.  

Mind:  Our minds are not yet set on the end times as seen in our Gospel today.  As we do God’s will on earth, however, we help to bring His kingdom to our present world, spreading love and service to others as God has called us to do.  

Spirit:  Our psalm response reminds us to calm our spirits; as long as we believe in the Lord’s presence, we will not want for anything.

“’The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.’”  (Luke 20:30)

The relationships that we have on earth will change as we enter the Kingdom of God; our relationship with God will come to fullness and joy.

Body:  The beauty of our heavenly relationship with God is that it requires no physical being.  Our relationship with God now also requires no physical being – how are we nurturing that relationship today?

Mind:  Our minds do not yet understand how relationships will work in heaven.  We must trust and have faith that God will be waiting for us and that our lives will be transformed.

Spirit:  Our psalm response speaks of us rejoicing in our present lives.  Lift your spirit today by seeking the presence of Jesus in the Sacrament or Adoration.
